Campbell Kane My 1st attempt and i beat this time trial. Might not attempt the rest lol but we need more of these illegal shortcuts as i suck at time trials
I've taken advantage of this right away. I'll take a free N. Tropy victory any day of the week. 16/31 done and it's a good thing I already accepted the fact I won't be unlocking N. Tropy anytime soon. I just don't have the patience and I dread courses like Dragon Mine and Oxide Station. Now to grind for more coins so I can finally unlock N. Trance and resist the temptation to buy new karts before I do so.
@@MisterM-xf9mt what? So you cross the finish line at the end of the 2nd lap, then go in reverse and then forward again to cross the finish line again and it counts it? Do you have a link to the world record video?
@@greygods9824 data corruption happens when there's too many ghosts. If you have oxide ghost + your ghost racing you're likely to crash. Just add oxide ghost, don't let other ghosts spawn and always keep a backup save on a USB drive.

I hope this gets patched soon. Thunderstruck is a pretty nice track and I would be a shame to be forced to skip 2/3 of it in order to have a chance to win.
Guan Yu I used it once online and felt like a total bastard. It's fun for time trails/beating Oxide but absolutelly ruins online racing if other players use it, so it should be patched, or ATLEAST not count as a finished lap when playing online and maybe only work offline
If you use it during Time Trial, then it's one of the best glitches EVER. Now if you use it while online....well, then you're just a straight up bastard XD
Yo, not sure if this is because I’m using the switch version or anything like that, but I just tried the glitch and it worked for me. I do have the most recent patch as well. So I guess have fun with it to grind Wumpa Coins if it works for you? EDIT: literally the day after I posted this they patched it out, glad I managed to beat oxide’s ghost before then
I just love it how CGE sounds so pumped, no matter what he reports on xD "We discovered a purple pixel in the newest trailer. Could this mean Spyro will be playable soon? LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!"
@@CanadianGuyEh Hey, your high spirits got me to Subscribe! Gotta admire that passion ^^ Keep up the good work and all the best for the growing family! PS. As a heavy metal guy, your wife's long hair make me jealous, haha. Pass on the compliment, if you will.
The Grand Prix patch is supposedly coming at midnight GMT, so let's hope this does get patched. But since it was only discovered recnetly, I kinda doubt it.
It worked for me. You need to land perfectly on the track, or else the game won't "recognize" you in first place or Aku Aku/Uka Uka pick you up as if you had fallen off the track
Update: I can easily pull this glitch off and even used it to beat the first time trial run, but subsequent plays with a ghost on won't allow me to go to the next lap. I'm just perpetually on lap 1.
Unknown I think you get around 60 coins for this track, so just make a custom offline match, make it 1 lap instead of 3 and since you save around half the entire track you can actually get lots of Wumpa coins by using this short cut :D Sure you get alot more coins during online races, but the weird cap that activates after some time prevents you from gaining that many coins anyway. Very frustrating to win online and only be awarded with 18 coins :/
Anyone know if they're gonna add the star skins and hover Kart decal and crunch red robot skin in the pit stop or Ps4/xbox store? I wanted to get those so badly but they didn't make a physical copy of the Nitrous Oxide editions here . I'm a classic collector since PS1 and I don't like buying games digitally unless they never did make a physical copy in the first place or if it's dlc. I'm dying to buy these . Especially the crunch skin
I've done this and my data wasn't corrupted, many people say it's only due to completing all or a lot of time trials given that the corruption only happens on ps4 because of the addition of 1 extra track.
The glitch happens due to ‘too much ghost data’. The fact it only happens on PS4 suggests to me that it is due to the retro track which isn’t in the other games So if you’re nowhere near completing the ghosts you should be fine I just did it and nothing went wrong
Using shortcuts like these makes me feel like a cheating bastard online. Reminds me of the shortcut on Papu's Pyramid. As fun as this looks to pull off, this one should probably be patched. It disrupts the balance of online races. As for the time trials... I would definitely take advantage of this before then.
Indeed. If these illegal shortcuts wont be patched, the game's balance will seize to exist.... given there is a reason on why CTR track's illegal shortcut have been removed. (Except for Blizzard Bluff one) Im using this as a means of wumpa coins grind.... given i dont have PS plus. As a means of time trial.... no! That would be cheating and besides.... oxide's times arent even THAT difficult to begin with.... maybe 2 or 3 but overall.... tough, but not impossible.
You can shorter the third lap to 3 sec. just jump into deadzone just before the finish line so that you cross the finishline before youre dead then game will register that youve completed the lap and will put you before the finish line and you can finish the race.
So guys I'm playing online winning the most matches with the first place and only getting 40 coins is this a bug?? Yesterday i was getting over 200 for the 3rd place? Wtf lol
There is this weird sorta "cap" that seems to activate after you played online for a while. I had the same issue as you. Was getting 150-600 Wumpa Coins, depending on the track and my position and after a while I suddenly stopped getting more than 60 Coins. There was one track where I even finished in first place but only got 18 coins. That's less than what you get during offline races and it annoys the shit outta me :/
Just did the shortcut only for the first lap against the N Tropy ghost, but I purposefully slowed myself on the next two just before the time, once this gets patched I plan to redo it legitimately
I doubt that some exploits will be patched unless they add more stuff to the sceneries since the nitro kart tracks dont have any animals or whatever around the tracks
Got a message that I had to update the game. I did, I've tried this shortcut and it still worked! And oh my, the satisfaction it gave against N.Tropy / N.Oxide xD Wouldn't use it against friends or online but man o man, what a relieve this was xD
omegaweaponredux yeah i don’t really feel it’s cheating, maybe only in the sense that once somebody does this other people have no chance at catching up to that person, but if someone is really good you have no chance anyway so it kind of a fine line imo..
I was wondering during my one online race when I was live streaming. I thought something was fishy and massed up. Thanks for the info. I would definitely keep a close eye on this track now with any racer performing this. I do hope it gets patched soon.
they would add more shortcuts like this on single player mode but make it impossible do in online its sad they remove oxide station shortcuts in remake :(
nastilus12 My guess is that they didn't know about until (maybe) now, since bigger RUclipsrs are talking about it and showing it off (kiiiinda making the problem worse since more people now know about it) so I guess they'll fix it in the next patch or the next Grand Prix
Try backing up to the other side of the track to gain some speed, that should work perfectly fine. Just remember that you're apparently going the "wrong way"
You say illegal, I say my oxide time trial victory.
This is one of the easiest oxide ghosts anyway
you say oxide ghost victory, i say 60 gold per 1:30-2:00 farming)))

How do you farm 10k coins?? The maximum is 80 for the long tracks, or that What I've been told!!

Well that's one less N.Oxide ghost to worry about *rubs hands together*
You can skip the 3rd lap entirely. You just jump off exactly when you cross the finishline.
My record is 0:52:37
On what lap?
@@greygods9824 you need to jump of at the end of the 2nd lap
Explain... so you cross the finish line then go back to the shortcut?? Or how?

Didnt work for me
Canadian Guy Eh laps where we are going we don’t need laps (there’s a new lap skip in papu’s level)
I’m sorry, Oxide, but I have to do this before it gets patched.
Doing this in time trials before its patched!
I hope this kind of thing doesn't get patched out. Finding short-cuts and crazy stuff like this is part of what makes this game so fun.

It’s already patched, have tried it so many times like the video and end up getting sent back to the start line repeatedly.
@@haydendutton6916 Must be the update for the gran prix.

Never played CNK at all, but still begs for a question: does this shortcut exist in the original CNK?

This might explain why I've seen people finish this track in almost a minute and a half online, leaving the rest of us unable to complete the race.
Thanks for helping me beat N. Tropy bud!
thanks for posting this! easy way to cheese oxide’s ghost before beenox patches it out
In the games term and service. It's says to not exploit the game for commercial gain. I have no idea if this applies for glitch videos
It should if it's confirmed it really was a bug & not intended.

There is actually another shortcut on this track it allows you to finish the race in less then 20 seconds.
Whelp there goes any fair competition on this track until this is patched.
Today patch, Thunder Struck map glitch fixed. There is a new barrier on that jumping spot.
That shortcut can also be one of the few tracks that allow you to unlock skins faster
they would add more shortcuts like this on single player mode but make it impossible do in online
its sad they remove oxide station shortcuts in remake :(

It gets weirder, with people doing the last lap in a few seconds by intentionally dying in a specific place, look it up.

same :D
So hey guys here’s a game breaking shortcut and I’m gonna show you how to do it in those pesky online races! Gee thanks...
Is it patched now?
How did no one notice this before? Is it precise or can you just jump off
Didnt watch the end lol
Now this track won't appear on matchmaking. We cannot abuse until patched out
